Yang Tian, when I was 21 years old in my senior year, "Journey to the West" was re-released 20 years later. It was the first time in my life that I asked a girl to watch a movie.
Ask if you have time and interest.
"Someone wants to invite you"
"Who?"
"It doesn't matter who, what matters is time and interest"
"Of course who you are with is important"
"I"
"Is there any milk tea near that theater?"
"No and must have"
On that day, for the first time, I purposely went to the store to blow my hair. I bought milk tea in advance, met you at the school gate, took a ride together, and went across the city to a theater far away from the school. You sit in the back seat, and I sit in the passenger seat. We talked a lot on the way, and I kept looking at you in the rearview mirror.
On the way out of the car to the cinema, you can go through a small narrow fence on the side of the road as a shortcut. I walked through it like thin ice, looking at you behind with a triumphant smile on the opposite side. You looked at the danger in front of you, your face sank, you turned around silently, and walked around the fence for a long time before coming to me. You are always decent.
The elevator to the theater was full of people, and you stood next to me, and I had a different feeling that I had never experienced before.
We had ice cream together before the screening and it was sweet.
I wanted to keep those two paper movie tickets and put them in my shirt pocket.
Someone took our seat in the wrong place, you are embarrassed to call others away, I approached to negotiate, and it was the first time I found you so shy.
You can play the drums, you understand music, and when the reeds were running, I said, "Wow, I've made up two songs."
When Fairy Zixia came out, I turned to your ear and said, "Zhu Yinmei turned over."
That time, the two films of "Journey to the West" were re-screened together. After the first film, there was a break in the middle. You brought a cake and shared it with me, saying that it tastes better with tea. You are always polite and cultured.
I see that your milk tea is almost finished, the pastry is a little dry, and I heard you say that it tastes better with tea. I went out to the lobby to buy you a drink, and I called you to ask what you were drinking, "#%&*¥＠#$", "I didn't understand", "Then let's have mineral water." I really didn't get it.
When you came back to the second installment of the Great Sage to get married, you imitated "When you used to watch the moon with me, you were called Xiao Tiantian, but now the new person has changed to the old one, and you are called Mrs. Niu", I guess you have an impression of this line since you were a child The most profound, "your smile is really weird".
"The Great Sage Marrying" is coming to an end, the classic is about to reappear, you got up and said to go to the bathroom, but you haven't come back for a long time, I called you, no one answered the phone, and I watched the ending by myself in my seat. You went back to your seat and said that you came back from the bathroom and stood in front of the screen at the front of the theater, looking up, your neck hurts. You are so stupid sometimes.
We left the theater, still in a crowded elevator. You wore a white gauze shirt that day, and I wore a brown shirt.
Along the way, we talked about the past and the present that we remembered from "Journey to the West." When you asked me how I was looking for a job, you said that I was successful and invited me to dinner.
When I was going up the escalator, you stood in front of me, and I asked behind you, "Sister Tian, do you want to eat spicy food?" You didn't hesitate to say, "eat", "let's go to a spicy feast."
You stood in front of me, I couldn't see your face, you hesitated for a few seconds, and I waited like centuries.
"Where"
"Near the school"
"But it's only after four o'clock, and it's not dinner time yet."
"We'll be back here"
"Okay"
You take out your phone and call your friend to make an appointment. The friend asks who you are with. You say me, but the friend refuses. You don't want to be alone with me, friends don't want to be with both of us, maybe.
On the return car, you called another friend, handed the phone to me, and the friend agreed. But it will be later.
When I got to the store, the waiter asked "how many", you "two", I "three", sometimes you are really stupid.
Domineering you always like to order first, informal.
A mutual friend is here, you sit diagonally across from me, and you use "Journey to the West", "Tell me about your first love", "I don't have a first love, it's just that when others like me, I don't like her, when I like her Others don't like me anymore", "It's a pity" - your sincere sigh.
Time has passed, and I can’t remember the content of our conversation during the meal that day. I just remember that I played it. You used to expose the meme of chasing your junior on a campus social platform, “Do you have a good night, senior, before going to bed every day? Da, Lao Tzu said that he just wanted to brush your face."
You said to go to the bathroom, your friend said you went to checkout, I got up and ran to your side. You were wearing a translucent white shirt that day. I tucked your waist like a brother, "Sister Tian, give me some face."
On the way back to school, I met classmates who came out to play with friends. They brought their companions, I brought you, and you brought me.
When you reach the fork in the dormitory, you ask, "Are you going back to the dormitory?" "Yes" - boys always think straight. "I'm going to the supermarket" "Then I'll accompany you" - said a mutual friend.
Watching a football game at night, after one o'clock in the morning, I suddenly received a text message from you, "Don't be so polite in the future."
"You're welcome. Sister Tian is already very honored to accompany you to watch a movie for dinner. You have given invaluable time, and I will fill the valuable part. There is nothing polite."
Turn off the screen and continue watching the game. Later, I recalled that when you watched "Journey to the West" that day, were you always used to going to bed so late?
A year after graduating, suddenly one day a nearby theater re-screened "Journey to the West". It's almost early morning. I saw a private venue and wanted to send you a message, but I didn't. Afraid of disturbing you, afraid of losing self-esteem.
We are still completely disconnected.
At this moment, I narrate the events of the day as detailed as possible, even lengthy and detailed, but I am afraid that with the passage of time, one day the memory will become blurred.
The most beautiful thing in my fuzzy heart, for the first time in my life, I asked a girl to watch a movie.
Yang Tian, it will be a long time to come, what will happen today.
